This an indie heavyweight line-up for sure, but it does omit lots of great artists that are on the Australian leg of the tour. Why couldn't Auckland get the insanely amazing Les Savy Fav, Los Angeles upstarts Local Natives, skewed popsters Menomena, and the cutesy duo of Jenny and Johnny? Yes, I'll end up going and will probably enjoy myself in the sun(fingers crossed) and sonics of Aotea Square. Although one has to ask, when does Auckland begin to not get the short end of the stick when it comes to Laneways? Just saying.
